Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 tsp of the salt, the turmeric, and the ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over both sides of each thigh.

Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the thighs to a plate.
